Stabilizer. The car is subjected to centrifugal forces when driving in a curve, which cause the body to tip outwards. This mainly applies to passenger cars, which develop higher speeds and have a more flexible suspension than trucks. To reduce the degree of body roll when cornering, stabilizers are used. Due to the design, a distinction is made between mechanical and hydraulic stabilizers. Construction and operation of a mechanical stabilizer. The steel bar of the stabilizer is embedded in two rubber sleeves attached to the frame or the body. The ends of the shock absorber are connected to the rocker arms. In the event of a strong deflection of one spring, the stabilizer transfers this deflection also to the other spring, thus preventing excessive tilting of the frame in relation to the wheels. The stabilizer, apart from periodic checking of the rubber bushings and joints, does not require any maintenance or lubrication.
